Countdown

I have vowed that this marathon, number 9, will be my last. Of course I've said that before. Tonight I looked at the marathon website and found the entrants' list. I am the only person entered from my state, and only a handful of participants reside west of the Mississippi. There are only five women in my age category. This is a very small marathon, but I hope to use it to finish my career in style.

Six weeks to go, and my piriformis syndrome is still a continual pain. After posting about my condition on the marathon message board, I received punny comments from fellow runners about hitting rock "bottom" and advice to put it "behind" me. To them I answer, "Tush-e!"

And I keep running.

Comments:
Keep going!
 
I had no idea that such a syndrome existed! My advice: Moderation in all things (except chocolate).

Yes! The blog is back, BABY! I imagine your perseverance will give you great insight into yourself and life in general. If nothing else, you will have a perfect life experience to share next time you are called to speak in church on the topic of "Endure to the End."
